Topic: Finalized Rockwell ATF Design? (Read 28872 times)

I have some news from Dr. Raymer. He says that your design is "pretty close" but that something seems off about it that he can't put his finger on. The good news about this is that he is going to be meeting up for a North American Rockwell luncheon in a few weeks and will ask if anyone else remembers the design. He also intends to apply for a Freedom of Information Act to obtain the original reports.

Update: Dr. Raymer was unable to acquire what he needed at the luncheon, but says that he might try to remodel the aircraft in CAD as close as he can remember it. If he does, he'll let me know. I'll keep an eye out.

Unfortunately, he did not create the ATF CAD as originally planned. He created a propeller aircraft to test the program out instead.Did you see the tilted nozzle designs revealed in the original Rockwell ATF topic more recently? That might help some with modeling.
